An interconnect structure that includes a component circuit board containing a plurality of electrical components, and a wafer connector assembly. The wafer connector assembly includes a plurality of interconnect circuit boards that are in electrical connection with the components circuit board through a plurality of rows of solder joints, the plurality of interconnect circuit boards having a connection end including at least one contact. An adhesive is present structurally reinforcing at least a row of the solder joints that is proximate to the connection end of the plurality of interconnect circuit boards of the wafer assembly.

A circuit generates a global clock signal with a pulse width modification to synchronize processors in a parallel computing system. The circuit may include a hardware module and a clock splitter. The hardware module may generate a clock signal and performs a pulse width modification on the clock signal. The pulse width modification changes a pulse width within a clock period in the clock signal. The clock splitter may distribute the pulse width modified clock signal to a plurality of processors in the parallel computing system.
